How We Check Age
- An age gate when you first visit the site, with your province and date of birth.
- A second check at checkout.
- At delivery, the carrier asks an adult to sign and show government photo ID. Parcels aren't left at the door.
If You Can't Be Home
Because a signature is required, Canada Post will leave a notice card and hold the parcel at a nearby post office. Bring your card and photo ID to pick it up.
Why the Ages Differ
Each province and territory sets its own minimum age for nicotine products. We follow the age for the delivery address, which is why it's shown on every delivery page.

Nicotine is highly addictive. Pouches are for adults of legal age who already use nicotine. Keep away from children and pets.
